| 20110063679 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - Disclosed is an image processing apparatus to generate printing data, comprising: a storage section to store the image data and reference data; a printing data generating section to generate the printing data based on the image data and the reference data; and a control section to output an address of the image data and that of the reference data to the printing data generating section, wherein the printing data generating section obtains the data based on the addresses thereof, and stores them in an internal storage section of the printing data generating section, and the control section outputs both of the addresses thereof when storage content stored in the internal storage section does not include the reference data obtained based on the address thereof, and only outputs the address of the image data when the storage content already includes the reference data obtained based on the address thereof. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110235080 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - Disclosed is an image processing apparatus including: a control section including a plurality of computing sections, each of the plurality of computing sections to perform language analyzing processing to perform language analysis on PDL data to generate a display list of an object, drawing processing to rasterize an object of the display list, and combining processing to combine data of the rasterized object, to generate printable data based on the PDL data, wherein each of the plurality of computing sections is set to any one of two or more resolutions for rasterizing; the rasterizing in the drawing processing is performed parallel in each of the computing sections at the resolutions set in each computing section; and the combining processing enlarges the data of the rasterized object of a low resolution to the highest resolution and combines the data. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110235105 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - Disclosed is an image forming apparatus which generates print data based on control data for page print inputted from an external device and which forms an image based on the print data. The image forming apparatus includes a control unit having a plurality of arithmetic processing units, and an image forming unit for forming an image based on the print data which is outputted by the control unit. The control unit generates the print data by carrying out a rasterizing process of one page in band unit constituted by a predetermined number of lines based on the control data for page print and sequentially outputs the generated print data at output timings defined in a constant output interval, wherein the rasterizing process is controlled based on whether or not generation of print data is to be completed within the output interval for all of bands in the one page. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110235911 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - The image processing apparatus includes: a storage section including a region to be used when rasterization processing is performed with respect to intermediate language form data created by a band based on page description language form data; a plurality of operation sections; and a control section to perform the rasterization processing with respect to the intermediate language form data by using the operation sections. The control section generates a plurality of segmented regions by dividing the band constituting each pieces of the intermediate language form data into a plurality of pieces based on the number of the operation sections, and assigns a segmented region for executing the rasterization processing among the segmented regions to each of the operation sections. | 09-29-2011 |
